Cesar Palacios nears transfer from Real Madrid to Fulham

Cesar Palacios is reportedly getting closer to joining Fulham from Real Madrid, according to Matteo Moretto of MARCA. The attacking midfielder, a graduate of Real Madrid Castilla, showcased strong performances in the academy, making him likely to leave this summer. With former Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa now at Fulham, he seeks to bolster his squad with Palacios, who has also made appearances for the first team. Fulham is exploring additional targets, including Gonzalo Garcia, but Palacios' transfer is expected to be less financially demanding.
